Five years of clinical and radiological results with biplanar tibial open-wedge osteotomy: feasible option to prevent patella infera?

Introduction: High tibial osteotomy (HTO) was a treatment option for relatively young active patients with isolated medial compartment arthritis of the knee. This report showed clinical and radiological results of a new HTO technique, that uses a particular open-wedge high tibial osteotomy by incorporating the tibial tubercle into osteotomy line (TT-OWHTO) to preserve patella height.

Materials And Methods: Preoperative and postoperative function was recorded on the IKDC score, Kujala PF score, EQ-VAS and Tegner activity scale.
